Im still waiting on any updates on if they're still sending out emails for more interviews I received an interview invitation for October 7th two days ago so hang in there! My application was received by the program on July 26th. Does anyone who already interviewed have any insight into what is meant by an "academic interview"? Would it be something like a medical terminology test or a panel asking you questions? I'm so excited but so nervous! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't worry about it too much. They are all 1:1 interviews, and they explain the whole day to you when you get there. Good luck. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFatMan Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 Overall, it is a surprisingly relaxed day. There are no surprises and everyone is genuinely happy that you are there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFatMan Posted August 29, 2019 Share Posted August 29, 2019 For everyone wondering, there isn't anything mysterious about NU's interview. Prepare like you would for any other interview and you will be fine. There isn't really anything to prepare for specifically. As was mentioned before, there isn't any way to prepare for the writing portion. As far as shadowing hours, no I wasn't asked about it, but I would recommend being able to articulate what you know about PAs and why you want to be one (and shadowing obviously helps with that). A good portion of my PCE was spent working directly with PAs so that could be a factor too. Overall, I would say don't be too nervous and just be yourself. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hawaiianrolls Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Anyone here who have gotten interviews or acceptances, still have pending prerequisites to complete?

I was offered an interview with outstanding prerequisites and offered an acceptance with no bachelor's degree. I'm sure it just depends on how well rounded the rest of your application is. It is certainly possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tgd0303 Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 For those that have interviewed already, how long did it take to hear back with an acceptance? Or are you still waiting for an answer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemurcatta Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 (edited) People I know got acceptances a week after their interview, to literally months after their interview. I got accepted to the program 4-5 months after my interview day. Edited September 21, 2019 by lemurcatta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reezy31 Posted September 25, 2019 Share Posted September 25, 2019 Got invited for an interview on November 4th! I was verified on 8/5/19. Super excited! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
